[@ChanceBingston]

I went against what 99% of poketubers said. They said wait on surging sparks. I said F that and pre-ordered a case on October 3rd. I don't know how someone like me who has been in the hobby barely a year has a better ability to understand the market than these so called investors and collectors who have been here for years. Just listen to your gut people, it's really that simple.

[@restockshock2710]

my gut said surging trash set and since I was there for vivid i figure same thing will happen we'll see how this comment ages but that's just cause I was one of the people who got grail sets like evo skies for less than msrp and went heavy on it. i still don't like surging or see it as an investment personally i think it's a mid set it doesn't offer anything I personally see exciting as a chase" and pika isn't anyones long term chase i still stand on prismatic being a superior set just because of how fast big box soldout on preorders for retail; how these card shops are complaining about small allocations could be them just driving up hype" since most of them don't have the numbers yet...My gut says prismatic better than rocket....the same gut who was right on evo skies

[@ChanceBingston]

@restockshock2710 that's cool I mean surging sparks is an objectively better set, vivid voltage artwork is dogshit no one is chasing anything from that set I'm still trying to wrap my head around why anyone would want that pikachu in the first place. Such a boring set but at least surging sparks has depth and actually talented artwork. SS will never drop below the price of vivid voltage. Sure its not an S tier set but it's no where near the trash that vivid voltage is.

[@OflahHugh]

How do people actually order a case? I can't find anywhere in Europe that does this. 😢

[@ChanceBingston]

@OflahHugh I order from ebay sellers with good ratings. Some people just go to their local card store and can find them.

[@bbq1040]

I always preorder every set as early as possible. It'll never be less expensive than early preorders. Surging I got the best deal on way early from safari zone. Like 560 per booster box case and like 360 for sleeved cases. Always preorder. Every set. The number of sets you'll be happy with pre-ordering will outweigh the ones you're not happy with.

[@Mash-Up-Central]

its like stocks bro. Look at TCG player and spend time researching there is a clear pattern on MOST singles and sealed product that isn't these giant sets. Prices ALWAYS starts high due to people listing singles etc before release from stores listing singles since they are allocated early, then as it releases it dips more and more as there market contains more supply. A few times a year there is a card that stays pretty high but the % + and - are comparable at the $500 scale all the way down to the $10 scale. Then it may go back up some after a lot of the inventory gets ripped through and the shelves go fairly bare then a lot of times you see an uptick of price following. If you really want to invest in Pokemon you have to put the time into market research and understanding what people are going to want. Its a great mix of what do I want as a collector as that usually reflects on what a lot of others will want as well. I am a level 4 seller on TCG player and have been building inventory for a few years to eventually open a store online (maybe a tiny tiny brick and mortar but I hate the thought of overhead so more than likely operate out of my garage haha but still) If you want to be successful you have to be passionate about it for 1 and 2 be dedicated and consistent. Why do something if you're not going to do it 100%.

Credibility check unclear, decided to back the truck on Battle Styles instead.

[@DirkVomEck]

I think Sword&Shield is a good placer to check since Surging Sparks has probably raised the box price floor to MSRP...

[@bbq1040]

If you're buying to hold then msrp or less isn't a bad way to go. It'll take longer to mature but the point about waiting is true. However, I think with prismatic waiting is good because the set has to be printed a few times just like crown zenith. It's also entirely possibly and likely that pokemon company intentionally put preorders up early and didn't give a ton to create the atmosphere of scarcity. It's a good tactic and will keep the demand for the set high well after release even when it's easier to find product.

[@BigPapiMatt]

You bring up good points bro

[@Thatalienguy91]

Lately, it’s been an all-out war between those of us who truly want to collect and those who just hoard the entire market to resell products at higher prices. It was a miracle that I managed to get a Surging Sparks ETB and no comments about booster boxes… There’s nothing fair about this, and unfortunately, people just don’t care.

[@leemacdonald6533]

Team rocket got me collecting again so I will be buying booster boxes straight away regardless of price.

[@yura37]

im happily waiting. i waited for SC to drop in price and didnt find a price that i liked so i skipped the set. i wasnt too happy with TWM so i got a few bb and waited for a price drop that never came. i saw a good price for SS so i got 4 cases at $89.5/box all in. the time scale for the insanity going on is too short. ill check on prices in a year, and if they suck ill just skip them, no big deal. if i cant get team rocket sub 100 it wont bother me if i cant get in, ill just wait for a set where i can. (maybe if the art is sick ill get in regardless of price but doubtful) if you "invest" in pokemon you dont have to make every play and buy every box, be mindful of the time horizon.

[@ANTHIT]

I see lots of collectors not willing to overspend a little on booster boxes. I understand buy low sell high from an investment stance but who will buy these pokemon products when they appreciate in the future? I feel like most of the new collectors/investors are staying away from SW&SH and previous sets and are more focused on newer sets at a discounted price. I didn't mean for this to sound rude or directed at you. I asked this question before but no response.

[@kedjfj798]

@@ANTHIT thats a good question but its an easy answer, whale/breakers buys those stuff... the more the hobby will be alive and well the more whale its gonna create, and they arent only into newest sets, im gonna give a a good exemple, i needed flashfire , teamup and phantom force to complete my master booster box set from xy to present, bought ff at 3.6k cad, teamup 2k cad, phantom force 1.8k cad a those time those peoples who sold to me were like finally i sold them, and i kinda felt that these wouldnt go higher really in price and felt capped, and like a year later theya ll like voer 50-60% increased, crypto whales are 30-45 years old men mostly... the perfect age for pokemon higher value assets investments... i think peoples who watch youtube videos about investment have this feeling where they are getting surrounded by peoples who does the same... i dont really know for the most popular states in the us but i live in quebec canada and man we arent even 1/50 000 to be into pokemon feels like XD so wont talk about sealed invesment alone

[@yura37]

@@ANTHIT its hard to put everyone in a box. im not willing to overspend on newer sets because they are new and i dont like the way they look. i recently picked up a case of B* LO and FS for 1-1.2k each and 4 ES bbs at 650 each. personally ive been catching up on old stuff since i took a few years off from the hobby, so i weigh the opportunity cost right now. whats the chance of me getting SWSH and SV cheaper a year or two from now? SWSH super low, SV pretty high. lots of people are following the hype with ultra modern. lots of other people are picking up SWSH but not talking about it because its not the popular topic. its also hard to justify paying retail+ on a set that just came out and still has a ~2 year release window. ultimately we know from experience that bbs go up, so if you can get deals sub 100 its a near guarantee that you make money

[@s1lentkill3r89]

I'd say the best strategy is stay a set or 2 behind the mainstream but keep an eye on the current set to see what the price is doing that way if you can get it for fair price great and if not who cares you're 1-2 sets behind anyway

[@v_token1377]

Store emailed me and cancelled the booster box case saying, "oversold pre-orders". Full refund and 10% store credit on next pruchase.

[@joshualudecker9778]

Agreed that the Team Rocket set will be just as hard to get as Prismatic. And getting booster box cases at 600$ is probably not realistic. If Pokemon Center releases a PC ETB at 59.99 again those will be sold out so fast. Surging Sparks was a great hit for many investors but, I don't see people getting in easily under MSRP again. Everything you said is spot on. I got some Stellar crown, S&V base, temp forces, paradox rift at 105 each from a local game store about a month ago and man I'm glad I did.

[@AutobotPrelude]

def get your point and it is valid but I also have to counter it and say me waiting got me a lot of evolving skies 2 years ago. I had a blast opening a lot ( finally! ) and keeping some sealed. I missed the initial launch and caught the "reprint" on booster boxes and then the Costco ETB's ($35 ) came.. THEN the Costco tins came. I pulled the espeon alt art from those tins and got more evolving packs (averaged $3.50 a pack). I got lucky, very lucky. my point is spending all your money can get you in a spot where you don't have the option to buy a good opportunity. I will also admit I missed chilling pain and fusion strike at very low prices of boosters because i was waiting for more evolving. I think it is all very dependent on "timing" and putting all your eggs in one basket isn't the best idea.

[@BigPapiMatt]

I get your point. I think thats what he's trying to say. Is to buy different things and don't just wait for 1 set or a few sets. But at the same time I think people should collect whatever they like. My brother only wants to collect 151 but thats just for him to collect. Collect what you want. But if u want to hold onto stuff to sell later I say collect different things.. its easy

[@alacrityml]

I think between the waiting period, it'd be wise to invest into other prismatic evolutions pieces like the binder, the tins, etc. There's always going to be people willing to buy in my opinion

[@lastdays51]

Usually with a new set I usually get a little bit of each set to keep sealed like a single pc etb and a single booster box per set

[@RonnieSportz]

I see your point but you need to think about it as forward contract instead of “waiting” to invest. If you can pre order, you agree on a price today for an exchange of goods some time in the future. The solution to that isn’t necessarily investing in something low today just to save yourself 6 months. It’s not quite like the money market. I’m not saying a paradox play now instead of team rocket later is a bad decision, it may be great. Just need to look at it like a derivative instead of the stock itself

[@pokene_pokemon]

For prismatic, I’ll give that to you. For rocket tho…there is literally no goods yet. You’re pre-ordering a concept … it might be a booster box, it might be an ETB, which would have vastly different effects

Maybe i’m not conveying this correctly or I misunderstood but I agree people need take a hype break.

it has just been confirmed that the Team Rocket set (glory of team rocket in japan) will NOT have Dark pokemon, which was the most hyped and anticipated feature. it'll have just "rocket's *insert pokemon*" with an image of a little rocket grunt. and will most likely come to the west as one set, bundled with partners (N's, Lillie's, Marnie's pokemon) which will be the rotation set for the west. it all points to a big flop, a "meh..." set. customers won't spend a fraction on that, compared to what they (want to) spend on prismatic. the unova dex set (151 but unova) seems promicing, and will be to gen z and gen alpha, what 151 was to us millennials. the kids that grew up in the early 10s, got introduced to pokemon with B&W, are now entering the job market, they have finished school and WILL spend parts of their first paychecks on that nostalgic, for them, set.

I just placed my first order with you. My channel is growing. My inventory is growing so we will be doing more future business hopefully🎉🎉🎉 love the videos keep up the good work

[@mikespandinator2054]

I got one case for 105 a box. Saw what was happening day 1 release. Got other case for 150 a box 😁

[@billypetts]

Not enough warehouses 👏 we need NE to flip Rudy on position holding

[@bradwinter7028]

Do we know is team rocket going to be a .5 set a speciality set? Or a full set with BBs?

[@ws9lcfc]

Not known yet

[@akoski12]

Having my prismatic evolutions orders be canceled really stung.

[@JoshGreaves-or1wy]

Does anyone know if Team rocket is a speciality or main set?

[@_The_Jerk_Store]

I know it’s just a guess, but now that SS is $200 a box weeks after release and Prismatic is preordering a good bit above MSRP do you think Pokemon will adjust print runs by the time Team Rocket comes out? I get stores get murdered when boxes are selling at $90, but you also turn off the collecting community when boxes shoot up to $200 a few weeks after release. I’m hoping they find a good supply amount in 2025 so that both sides are doing well

[@lulucolby8882]

There are some great investments that are being overlooked right now💯

[@PPPantsss]

I’ve been buying the $50 Terastal festival since all Prismatic items are sold out. I did get some binders and 2 PC etbs though.

[@richardmontoya5817]

4 CASES AT 93.99 THEN I GOT THE BLACK FRIDAY AT 161.66 A BOX. BUT ONLY 1 CASE

[@The_JokersHouse]

Hey from South Africa this is the thing that’s happening by us then our supplier in South Africa keeps messing our order from pokemon and I have to fill my vending machines with no product it’s a grind . I’m sending you a mail today aswell please try take a look if you have a moment 😊

[@robc1773]

Aren’t there going to be any dark Pokemon in team rocket this time round? If so I wonder if that will lower the hype for it a little?

[@level3xfactor]

and as I am watching this video I get a Twitter notification that team rocket will launch on April 18th, 2025 IN JAPAN lol

[@warwickmilne3149]

surging sparks will be worth more than ES

[@nurihodges]

So you’re saying I should buy more cards

[@Alma-B]

why buy new team rocket when vintage team rocket holo psa 10s are at like a 3 year low 🤔🤔

[@herotcg4028]

Thank You Danny for the information.

[@DemonFromSun]

Nah stellar crown was heat. The art works are fire. I scooped 10 boxes just last week. Ill be scooping up whatever i want. Those eeveelutions are getting grabbed too.

[@r0ckettp0wer]

I’m so glad I was able to get SS at $111. I can’t wait for prismatic though.

[@hougen8695]

I have bought a lot of prismatic already

[@r0ckettp0wer]

@ same here.

[@hougen8695]

@r0ckettp0wer what did you buy and for how much? I usually do 50/50 investing and opening, but this set will be purely investing. I just cant really see myself trying to collect many of the top cards I bought 10 elite trainer boxes (normal) for abt 510€ And 20 Surprise Boxes for 509€ total

[@JayE-no2ur]

@@hougen8695 10 etbs, 20 booster bundles, 2 surprise boxes hopefully I get everything!

[@Jeffstoyspokemoncars]

Me too...I hate tieing up money for 2 months but this set will be worth it. Got Surging Sparks if anyone needs any on Mercari Jeffstoyspokemoncars
